A standby at football parties and cocktail parties alike, gooey queso is a crowd-pleaser. Make plenty, or you'll have to fight a crowd of disappointed guests scraping the bottom of the bowl. A Crock Pot makes this dish excruciatingly simple. If you don't have a crock pot, melt it a half batch at a time over a double boiler (a half batch will get gobbled up before it gets cold and clumpy).

1 pound Velveeta or similar cheese-esque processed product
2 cups grated Cheddar
2 cans of Ro-Tel tomatoes with green chiles (the store brand is fine)
beer to thin

Toss the cheese, Velveeta & Ro-Tel together in a Crock Pot.

Turn it on high for 10 minutes to get the melting going, then switch to low.

Keep a bottle of beer nearby and pour in just a splash to thin it a bit if it gets too thick or clumpy. Mix well after adding beer. Serve with chips and more beer.
